Why Joao Pedro to Chelsea Helps Cole Palmer, Is English Football Becoming TOO Americanised? & Our Mount Rushmore of Premier League Strikers

54 minutes

All three boys are back in the studio for the first time in what feels like forever — and it’s a packed one.

The episode kicks off with Chelsea’s latest signing, João Pedro. The lads discuss how he could ease the creative burden on Cole Palmer, and whether this is the start of a smart summer window. They also break down Chelsea’s wider transfer plans — who else needs to come in, and who still needs to go.

The conversation then shifts to the Club World Cup after Chelsea’s four-hour match, and the lads briefly touch on Man City’s squad and new signings (note — this was recorded before their match against Al Hilal).

The boys also dig into the new broadcast innovations coming next season — including pitchside interviews with substitutes and in-game dressing room access. They question whether these changes will enhance the fan experience or if English football is becoming too Americanised. The fellas also touch on Lee Carsley and his success with England’s U21s — does he deserve more respect in the game?

And finally, the big one: the Mount Rushmore of Premier League Strikers. The boys debate eight iconic names and whittle them down to the final four — including a fiery clash between Adam and Buvey over who deserves a spot.

All this and more on the latest episode of The Club.
